The subject was the Manning’s as a family. I don’t care one way or the other about any of them until I read this about their generosity which I think is amazing. I do not think Eli is up to Peyton’s or Archie’s status as a qb.
As far as Elway I know he did the same thing as Eli but he is not the subject. I have eaten as his steak house and I like that.

So are the staff at Nursing Homes. Taking care of patients who literally cannot take care of themselves is not easy.

How the frick did I prove your point?

You were the 3rd reply in this thread and you immediately slandered all LSU fans when nobody even had a chance to say anything negative.

Go frick yourself.

I didn't do any of that. But you're doing a pretty good job of making LSU fans look trashy and ignorant all by yourself.

Keep it up, champ!

So angry.

Huge! My son is alive today thanks to Children's Hospital NOLA

We were there in 2002 with our daughter. The Super Bowl was here and the Patriots came and visited. I remember these guys tearing up looking at these kids all hooked up. Kevin Faulk was there and one of them left her a stuffed animal. It was touch and go for a few days but she pulled through.

I have nothing against them but the canonization of then is a little much. They are very savvy with PR. They’ve all had their fun and then some.
Anyone who donates millions to childrens hospitals gets praised by me, idgaf who it is. Take care of the children especially when your family has enough money to survive the next ten generations.

The same Mannings who (aside from Archie) refuse(d) to play at LSU and/or for the Saints?

If the Mannings want to pump money into the hospital, I’m all for it. It’s a win for all involved. Honestly, call it whatever you want if it helps save children.

An investment banker who has made tens of millions of dollars for himself. And hundreds of millions more for his clients. A husband and wife who raised great kids, contribute to their community, and grow their family brand while being positive role models to millions of kids.

That's who named their kid Arch.

The ManningCast is consistently, week in and week out*, the best show on television .







* their contract allows them to take many weeks off during the season, but when it’s on, it’s highly entertaining

The question was very clear...
quote:

Please name something other than you're a hater because they didn't go to LSU or play for the Saints. I BEG you


Yet the only thing you could say was
quote:

I like Archie because he was a Saint.
quote:

neither went to LSU so I wouldn't be a fan of either of them. And Eli was a direct rival to LSU when I was in college. So I didn't like him.
quote:

Neither went to pro franchises that I pull for, so again what allegiance should I carry for either of them?


So exactly as I said...you're just a hater because they didn't go to LUS or the Saints. LAME

This is great news. I like the Mannings. Archie was a Saint and the family is from New Orleans and have been good ambassadors for Louisiana and the New Orleans. Yes they didn't go to any of the Catholic schools in New Orleans, but they are not Catholic and yes none of the boys seriously considered LSU, but they are an Ole Miss family and I can't blame Cooper and Eli for going to Ole Miss. Peyton made the best decision for him at the time LSU was not a powerhouse and that sort of goes for Eli's decision. Arch went to Texas, but it's not their fault LSU did not win over any of the Mannings.

Hell, Billy Cannon Jr went to TAMU.

As others have said they are good people. Everyone I know who has met or known or dealt with the Mannings have good things to say about them.

First of all, you conveniently left this part out:
quote:

So I've just never liked either one of them really. And their schtick got old for a while.

I got tired of seeing their exposure back in the day. It was annoying and so I didn't like them because of that.

But let's dig deeper into what you're getting at. Is there some random reason that I am required to love every member of the Manning family that I am unaware of? Why are you acting like this is some gigantic slight against them and why do you seem to be so offended that I don't particularly care for them? It's fricking weird. There are plenty of people in this world, famous or not, that I don't really care about or particularly like regardless of their charitable contributions....as I'm sure there are for you as well. So why is me not liking them so egregious to you?

And a lot of people don't like Eli or Peyton because they didn't go to LSU. You can't eliminate that as a reason just because you want to; it's a legitimate reason. As an LSU fan in the late 90s/early 00s, why in the frick would I like Peyton or Eli Manning (especially Eli at that time)?

I don't think they are evil pieces of shite or anything like that. I simply said I don't care for them...and also said that they have grown on me more in retirement and that I like them more now anyway. Yet you're still clutching your fricking pearls. Are you gonna be okay?

But hey, let's have a multi-day argument about this and take the focus of the thread off their charity and make this about your inability to grasp that someone may have a different opinion of someone than you do, I guess.

It’s short for Archibald with is actually Archie’s middle name. I’m sure they shortened it to not get it confused with his grandfather’s name….

This is a very stupid question….
